The Industries Federation of the State of São Paulo, Fiesp, has confirmed the presence of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and some of his main ministers at the Industry Day event next Thursday, May 25.
Among the presents should also be Anfavea’s president, Márcio de Lima Leite and the vice-president and Minister of Development, Industry and Commerce, Geraldo Alckmin, who promised for this date the announcement of measures to reindustrialize the country, including incentives benefitting the vehicle market.
There is a great expectation for an announcement about redeeming the so-called popular car, at least creating a working group about it. Anfavea is not participating in the debate directly, arguing that products and prices are a manufacturer’s private matter.
Nonetheless, there is information from the industry that the government wants a higher commitment from the segment organizations, including Anfavea and Sindipeças, besides Fenabrave, which should be the responsible for presenting the proposal for the popular car return.
Stellantis, which assembles brands such as Fiat, Jeep, Peugeot and Citroën, has already manifested its support to the project. His president for South America, Antonio Filosa, said the company could launch an affordable entry car if the government takes it ahead.
The event, which will happen on Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM, is organized by Fiesp, Ciesp, BNDES and Cebri. Officially, will be debated relevant themes such as a new industrial policy, tax reform for economic growth, deindustrialization and the new challenges from geopolitics and reshoring, financing for industrial development and small and medium companies strengthening.
Also confirmed at the opening, besides Fiesp’s president, Josué Gomes da Silva, are the Finances Minister, Fernando Haddad, and BNDES’ president, Aloízio Mercadante. International specialists will also take part in the event, such as Mario Cimoli, from the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, and Robert Wade, from the London School of Economics and Political Science.
